Exercise for children and teenagers

Specialized physical improvement and mobility exercise is a safe and effective method for treating scoliosis and improving orthosis in children and teenagers. Through individualized programs, tailored to each person’s needs, spinal alignment, posture and motor independence are enhanced while promoting self-confidence and quality of life, providing the tools necessary for balanced, healthy development.

The importance of orthosis in development

Correct posture is the basis for avoiding long-term problems such as kyphosis, lordosis and scoliosis. In children and teenagers, where growth is vigorous, orthosis helps maintain balance between muscles and bones, reducing pressure on joints and vertebrae. Through specific exercises, the body learns to align itself correctly, facilitating daily movement and preventing muscle imbalances.

The role of personalization

Every child and teenager has unique needs, depending on their posture, the activities they engage in and their level of fitness. An individualized program takes into account the presence of asymmetries or alignment problems, the level of mobility and flexibility, and the activities in which he or she participates, such as sports or school commitments. Based on these factors, exercises are selected to meet the individual’s specific needs and goals, maximizing their effectiveness.

Types of exercises in personalized programs

Orthosis exercises include techniques that strengthen muscles, improve flexibility and promote correct posture. Core strengthening exercises aim to support the spine and pelvis, while flexibility exercises reduce muscle tension and improve joint mobility. At the same time, balance and coordination exercises enhance stability and overall movement, while breathing exercises improve lung function and enhance a sense of relaxation.

Benefits for children and teenagers

Orthosis programs have multiple benefits for young people. They increase muscular strength and flexibility, prevent injuries and improve overall fitness. At the same time, they reduce the occurrence of musculoskeletal pain, which is common during the growing years, and help to establish proper motor patterns that remain throughout life. In addition, children gain increased self-confidence as they feel stronger and more stable in their bodies, while developing better postural habits that positively affect their daily life and sports activities.

Objectives of the exercise

Exercises for scoliosis aim to stabilize and strengthen the spine, improving alignment and reducing associated symptoms. They enhance muscle strength in the muscles that support the spine, improve muscle and ligament flexibility to correct curvature, and encourage correct posture to reduce stress on joints and vertebrae. At the same time, they improve functionality and mobility, facilitating smooth daily activity.

Types of exercises for kyphotic scoliosis

Strengthening, stretching, balance and postural exercises play a key role in the management of kyphosis and scoliosis. Strengthening exercises focus on strengthening the paraspinal, abdominal and back muscles, supporting the spine and reducing the load on the vertebrae. At the same time, stretching exercises reduce stiffness and improve the flexibility of the affected muscles. Balance and posture exercises enhance stability and alignment of the body.

Benefits of the exercise

The proper application of exercises offers multiple benefits for children and teenagers with kyphotic scoliosis. Exercise helps reduce pain by decreasing muscle tension and improving blood circulation. At the same time, it strengthens posture alignment, enhancing appearance and boosting self-confidence. Furthermore, strengthening the musculoskeletal system protects the spine, preventing further deterioration. Finally, in cases of severe kyphosis, exercise can improve the function of the thorax and lungs, enhancing respiratory health.

The importance of a personalized approach

Each case of scoliosis is unique. Therefore, the specialized physical improvement and mobility exercise should be planned based on the needs of the child or teenager, taking into account the age, the severity of the deformity and the general physical condition of the child or teenager. A specialist can assess the condition and design a program that includes appropriate exercises, avoiding movements that may aggravate the curvature.
